Taj Gibson on Chicago Bulls: “We used to be scrappy”

[Ron Burgundy]

The Chicago Bulls put up another poor performance with a 108-91 loss to the Charlotte Hornets as it appears the team has hit rock bottom. The loss marked their fifth in the last six games as they just completed a seven game road trip. Monday's performance may have been the worst however and despite missing both Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose, there's really no excuse to lose by 17 to the Hornets. Many fans are wondering whats going on and the mood on coach Fred Hoiberg's hiring has turned sour to fans.After the game, Taj Gibson spoke out about the struggles and how the Bulls identity has changed. "We had straight defensive guys, hungry dogs," Gibson said via Vincent Goodwill. "Now we have guys, offensive minded, shoot the 3. We used to be scrappy."https://twitter.com/vgoodwill/status/696893967024201728Gibson has a point though.The Bulls were a defensive force the past few years under Tom Thibodeau. Now they have focused their attention to the offense with the hiring of Hoiberg. But it hasn't worked yet and the signs aren't looking good.

Scrappy gets you shit in the playoffs, Taj. If you weren't so incredibly inconsistent (read shitty) the Bulls might have done something.

Oh come-on, man. If some of the other players on the Bulls worked as hard as Butler, Taj, and Noah, they'd have had better results.
